When I was a little girl I used to dream about the little house with the white picket fence and the perfect family that would live happily ever after. Claire Huxtable and Wilma Flintstone made it all look so easy. It was a rude awakening when I realized that being a mother was the hardest, most trying job I would ever have. Sleepless nights, endless piles of laundry and dishes and out of control children were just so unexpected. Was it really the same for my mother?

Child's eye view...the horror!!

So I was downloading the pictures from my son's birthday party the other day and to my horror I found some pics that my daughter took while I was baking cupcakes. Now is this what she sees when she comes up behind me?!!! I know that the camera usually adds 10 pounds but IS THIS REALLY WHAT SHE SEES?!! If so then I am truly going to hit the gym.

Just browsing through blogs, ran across yours and read your latest...I about died with laughter! My girls do the same thing but usually the pics include extreme close-ups of their nostrils or eyes. I have yet you find any of me in that "view" and hopefully I never will. You handled it well!

My step son did something similar... except it was a picture of the FRONT of me. Needless to say those jeans are now in the garbage and a new pair purchased to combat the evilness of the dreaded camel toe. Decided NOT to post the picture on my blog! ROTF. Great post. This made me chuckle.
